As long as lighting the national Christmas tree is Constitutional, or providing a chaplain to the United States Senate is, I am afraid that you are quite wrong. It does not even go so far as those things, and therefore does not violate the Constitution. Since it does not, in fact, make anyone participate in an actual religious custom, but soothes the sensibilities of those to whom the custom matters, it is innocuous. Government cannot be out of it, because it would be banning the observance that would otherwise occur on the initiative of the majority of the participants.
